Application scripting: resolve LayoutComponent's only if they are visible

Testing

In scripted tests, fields and commands are often resolved relative to a LayoutComponent. This works even if the component is invisible. As a result, many scripted actions can be executed even when they could not be performed at all on the GUI. This leads to unexpected results.

Improvement

After resolving the component, a check is performed to ensure it is visible. If it is not visible, an error is thrown. Some specific actions (e.g., Goto commands) must still be able to resolve invisible components.

Test

In the Structures > Type Demo > Type Demo view, switch
Record the change of an element’s name.
Switch to Structures > Type Demo > Grid
Play back the recorded action.
- Expected result: An error occurs indicating that the component is not visible.
